The fan motor in the freezer compartment squeals when the fan motor increases speed. I removed the motor and spun the fan with my finger and could make it squeal a little, the vibration seemed to come from the magnetic part of the motor. Do you know what part of the motor would go bad to cause the squeal and can the motor be repaired or is it best just to repalce the entire motor?

The bearings are probably shot.
I would replace the motor.
Taking the motor apart, cleaning and then oiling them may last a week or years it is hard to tell. |
